St. Martin’s Episcopal Church

What kind of Christian Formation programs would you like to see offered to children and adults this fall at St. Martin’s?  This is your chance to share your ideas and your faith with the rest of our parish….

Christian Formation is a lifelong process by which we learn and grow in faith.  St. Martin’s offers many opportunities to explore your faith while serving in one of our Christian Formation ministries.

You are cordially invited to share your time and talent with any of these groups. Please consider attending an upcoming meeting or contact Interim Christian Formation Director Janis Greenbaum for more information.
